WineSpectator Review:
Rich and inviting, with complex smoke, apple, peach, lemon and mineral flavors. Has great intensity on the palate and a smooth texture that melds with the vibrant structure. The finish is long and detailed. Drink now through 2010.
Tanzer Review:
Pure chalky aromas of pineapple, lime, powdered stone and spring flowers. Extremely backward and brisk, with cool flavors of lime, menthol and almost metallic minerality. A wine of almost painful precision, but with strong buffering density. (This is even higher in dry extract than the 2000 example, notes Pierre.) Perfumed, slowbuilding finish goes on and on. This will be fascinating to revisit in a decade or so.
